The Boss of It All (Danish: Direktøren for det hele) is a 2006 experimental comedy film written and directed by Lars von Trier.[8] The film uses a cinematic technique invented by von Trier himself called Automavision, which automatically determines framing by randomly tilting, panning or zooming the camera without being actively operated by the cinematographer.
